Zopiclone Action PathwayHomo sapiens
Zopiclone, a nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic belonging to the pyrazolopyrimidine class, is employed for the short-term management of insomnia. Operating outside the benzodiazepine and barbiturate realms, it interacts with the gamma-aminobutyric acid-benzodiazepine (GABABZ) receptor complex, demonstrating both benzodiazepine-like and some barbiturate-like properties. By selectively binding to the brain alpha subunit of the GABA A omega-1 receptor, zopiclone's action unfolds through engagement with the benzodiazepine receptor complex and modulation of the GABABZ receptor chloride channel macromolecular complex. Its effects align with those of benzodiazepines, acting as full agonists on various GABAA receptor subunits (α1, α2, α3, α5), amplifying GABA's inhibitory actions to produce therapeutic (hypnotic and anxiolytic) and adverse outcomes. Primarily metabolized through processes like decarboxylation, demethylation, and side chain oxidation in the liver, zopiclone undergoes substantial metabolic transformation. This results in the formation of metabolites such as a weakly active N-oxide derivative (constituting around 12% of the dose) and an inactive N-desmethyl metabolite (approximately 16% of the dose). Moreover, nearly 50% of the dose is converted to additional inactive metabolites via decarboxylation, with hepatic microsomal enzymes seemingly playing no significant role in zopiclone clearance. Renowned for its distinct mechanism within the realm of nonbenzodiazepine hypnotics, zopiclone effectively addresses short-term insomnia management.

Zuclopenthixol Dopamine Antagonist Action PathwayHomo sapiens
Zuclopenthixol, also known as Zuclopentixol or Zuclopenthixolum, is an antipsychotic agent. Zuclopenthixol is a thioxanthene-based neuroleptic with therapeutic actions similar to the phenothiazine antipsychotics. Zuclopenthixol is a typical antipsychotic neuroleptic drug of the thioxanthene class. It mainly acts by antagonism of D1 and D2 dopamine receptors. Zuclopenthixol also has high affinity for alpha1-adrenergic and 5-HT2 receptors. It has weaker histamine H1 receptor blocking activity, and even lower affinity for muscarinic cholinergic and alpha2-adrenergic receptors.

Zuclopenthixol H1 Antihistamine Neurological Sleep Action PathwayHomo sapiens
Zuclopenthixol is an ethanolamine class H1 antihistamine used to treat insomnia and allergy symptoms such as hay fever and hives. It is also used with pyridoxine in the treatment of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. H1-antihistamines interfere with the agonist action of histamine at the H1 receptor and are administered to attenuate inflammatory process in order to treat conditions such as allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and urticaria.
Wakefulness is regulated by histamine in the tuberomammillary nucleus, a part of the hypothalamus. Histidine is decarboxylated into histamine in the neuron. Histamine is transported into synaptic vesicles by a monoamine transporter then released into the synapse. Normally histamine would activate the H1 histamine receptor on the post-synaptic neuron in the tuberomammillary nucleus. Zuclopenthixol inhibits the H1 histamine receptor, preventing the depolarization of the post-synaptic neuron. This prevents the wakefulness signal from being sent to the major areas of the brain, causing sleepiness.
